Scene: The aftermath of the battle. The group has made camp near the edge of a dense forest, away from the ruins. The air is quiet, but the tension lingers. Lila is resting under a makeshift shelter, her breathing shallow but steady. Elias keeps vigil by her side while Ryder and Cassian prepare a fire.
Cassia
[Throwing a log onto the fire] So… what now? We barely made it out alive, and that thing’s energy is still out there somewhere.
RYDER
[Adjusting his glasses, looking worn out] The pendant was a temporary solution. Destroying it didn’t erase the magic it just scattered it. And scattered magic tends to find a host.
Cassia
[Sharply] Great. So we’re back to square one, but now it’s worse because we don’t have a way to fight it.
Cassia
Elias looks up from Lila, his voice calm but firm.
